Caring For Others | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
While many believe it is
impossible to end poverty,
there is the hope that small
incremental improvements
can lend dramatic results.
Just as Mandela admonished
the world to leverage its
collective efforts to mend
South Africa, we challenge
others to help give a voice
to the faces of poverty.
“Overcoming
poverty is
not a task of
charity, it is an
act of justice.”
Nelson Mandela

“Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on
which to place it, and I shall move the world.”
Archimedes
Giving a Voice
to the Faces of Poverty:
A prescription for success
The gap between the rich and
poor has never been wider.
Hunger, homelessness, joblessness,
illiteracy and health disparities are
a daily reality for millions of people
around the world. At Caring For
Others, we want to help the world
see the myriad of people who are
largely invisible: the child with no
shoes, the senior citizen without
basic necessities or the working
mother struggling to make ends
meet. This quest to give a voice to
the faces of poverty is inspired by
a man who convinced the world
to support the end of apartheid –
South Africa’s chosen son, the late
President Nelson Mandela.
In addressing the crowd after
his release from Robin Island,
Mandela’s call-to-arms was simple.
It is only through disciplined mass
action could real change occur.
The sight of freedom looming on
the horizon should encourage
us to redouble our efforts. He
4
Caring For Others | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
admonished the South African
people and the international
community to stand together
and help to shape a new nation.
In the case of eradicating poverty,
this sage advice also rings
true. We must join together to
ensure poverty does not have an
environment in which to thrive.
So, what is the formula for
success?
Mandela’s strategy to leverage
the collective power of many
certainly warrants our attention.
Working together we can achieve
exponentially more (in less time)
than as individual contributors.
Much like the people of South
Africa in their quest to abolish
Apartheid, we can create a fulcrum
that ultimately leads to the demise
of impoverished communities
and restore dignity to the least of
these. From our point of view, the
movement to fight poverty requires
four essential elements:
Serve. Serve. Serve.
The road to eradicating poverty
begins with the work. By executing
direct service programs to provide
basic necessities such as food,
clothing and shelter, communities
and organizations can lay a solid
foundation for change. When
equipped with the necessary
skills, knowledge, and access
to resources, it becomes much
easier for people to gain footing
needed to improve their own lives.
Each initiative, however, must be
implemented with a sustainable,
long-term goal in mind—to make
poverty everywhere a thing of the
past. It all starts with a single act of
service.
Advocate and partner.
Helping struggling families with
basic necessities, such as food,
clothing and shelter is a good
first step, however eradicating
poverty will require giving children,
families and communities the
tools they need to completely
break the cycle. This can be
accomplished by partnering with
other organizations that share a
common vision. Although every
partnership is unique, research
reveals that community coalitions
with specific strategies and
practices in common can achieve
the best overall performance. By
being a credible and respected
partner, Caring For Others seeks to
accelerate its ability to advocate on
behalf of families in need.
Inspire action.
It truly takes a village to tackle
challenging issues like poverty.
Because volunteers and donors
are the lifeline of our organization,
it is critical to engage supporters
in a manner that resonates and
inspires them to go further. We’ve
also learned that by giving others
a tangible way to contribute
(i.e. setting up a distribution,
stocking the warehouse, etc.) we
ultimately help create a vanguard
of community reformers.
The taste of poverty is undoubtedly
bitter. And while it has the capacity
to be unrelenting, even cruel in its
negative effect on communities, it
does not have to be a permanent.
While many believe it is impossible
to end poverty, there is the
hope that small incremental
improvements can lend
dramatic results. Just as Mandela
admonished the world to leverage
its collective efforts to mend South
Africa, we challenge others to help
give a voice to the faces of poverty.
The world will be a better, kinder
place for us all.
Build and nurture.
Finally, research suggests that
children who grow up in poverty
are more likely to remain in
poverty as adults. For every seed
we plant in an individual’s life,
we must create pathways out of
poverty that support and prepare
them to be self-sufficient in the
long run. This includes equipping
them with competitive skills such
as financial wellness and job
training that improve the odds
of success. Perhaps by building
ongoing programs we can address
some of the root causes of poverty,
continue to expand our impact
and be a global force for good.
“It always seems
impossible until it’s done.”
Nelson Mandela

What we do
While our core work is clothing and food distributions, our
ten signature programs from our Emergency Food Program to
our International Micro Economic Centers, engage, educate and
empower both those in need and those that have a desire to give
and make a difference.
Our programs
• Emergency Food and Senior &
Disabled Assistance Program
• Catastrophic Relief Program
• Disaster Recovery Center
• Emergency Financial Assistance
• Return to Work Program
• Community Holiday Giving
• Community Partnership Program
• CareMart
• International Outreach
• ERS Scholarship Care Fund
Emergency Food and Senior &
Disabled Assistance Program
Our Emergency Food and Senior
& Disabled Assistance Program
includes a pantry remarkably
stocked with assorted meats,
canned goods, basic staples and
household items such as paper
products, detergent and diapers.
The purpose of the Emergency
Food Assistance Program is to
sufficiently assist those in need
and encourage them through
their difficulty. The Emergency
Food Assistance Program is zip
code restricted and requires a
needs assessment so that we can
properly service the individual or
family.
The Senior & Disabled Program
allows seniors and the disabled
to receive food, household and
personal effects, clothing, coats
and shoes that they would
normally go without because
of the economic strains of an
extremely fixed income and the
high costs of medication. Our goal
with both programs is to help
alleviate hunger and poverty by
providing the necessary recourses
to the people who come through
our doors for assistance.
8
Caring For Others | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Catastrophic Relief Program
Our Catastrophic Relief Program
provides NEW clothing and NEW
furniture to families who have been
devastated by natural elements
beyond their control and are forced
to choose between clothing and
other basic necessities. These
families include those who have
been burned out of their homes,
victims of flood or tornadoes
or who are in transition from
homelessness. We quickly assess
their need and jump into action
giving them a renewed sense of
hope beyond their circumstance.
Our relief efforts reach beyond our
facility, beyond our communities
and beyond our borders. We
provide the same help, hope and
healing to those suffering with
catastrophic loss whether in the
United States, Asia, Africa, South
America, the Caribbean and even
parts of Europe.
Community Holiday Giving
Our Community Holiday Giving
Program distributes toys, clothes,
food, household goods and other
items to hundreds of families
who may not be able to provide
a meal or warm clothing for
their families during the winter
and Thanksgiving and Christmas
Holidays. Foundations, individuals,
corporations and churches donate
the items.
Disaster Recovery Center
As a Disaster Recovery Center,
Caring For Others headquarters
in Hapeville, GA is a readily
accessible facility where families
and individuals affected by natural
disaster may go for a hot meal,
new clothing and personal and
household goods. Our disaster unit
has provided assistance to those
affected during Hurricanes Katrina
and Sandy and the tornadoes in
South Georgia and Oklahoma.
Emergency Financial Assistance
Our Emergency Financial
Assistance assists in preventing
homelessness by extending a
helping hand with utility assistance
(electricity, gas and water) and
mortgage/rental assistance to
those who are in crisis. In most
cases, we are able to prevent
eviction or foreclosures by
providing the essential financial
resources that are needed
for a more stable and secure
environment.
Community Partnership Program
Return to Work Program
The Return to Work Program
promotes economic independence
of disadvantaged men and women
by providing a new professional
outfit and career development
training to help them become
economically stable.
Our program focuses on providing
critical skills such as money
management and personal
communication to conduct a
successful job search, interview
confidently and ultimately remain
employed.
Our Community Partnership
Program leverages our partnerships
with local and national agencies,
communities of faith, nonprofit agencies and government
agencies allow us to distribute
more products to the areas that
need it most. We currently have
well over 110 partner agencies
servicing various communities
across the nation. Our No Bare
Soles Distribution, Spring and
Grow, Books for Better Children,
Child Safety Week, YO Boulevard
Partnership and many others have
become signature events that help
us serve more families and children
across the nation.

CareMart
CareMart has been crowned
Atlanta’s Best Kept Secret. It is
truly a Community Store that gives
new meaning to a bargain. All of
the items in the store are brand
new and range from high end to
local vendors. The prices are well
below retail and the affordability
allows the single mother on a tight
budget to buy school clothes for
her children or the young man
about to enter the workforce
proper business attire.
Not only does CareMart help the
community with its low prices but
all of the proceeds from the store
goes right back into funding Caring
For Others’ core programs to assist
more families and individuals.
International Outreach
Our International Outreach has
grown to include International
Hubs of Caring For Others in
Antigua Barbuda, Nigeria, and
Guyana and to partner with local
agencies to reach communities in
Belize, Santo Domingo and even
the Philippines. Our international
expansion and outreach allows
us to serve areas that are
impoverished and in dire need
all over the world. Our vision is to
not only provide clothing, food
and personal effects, but to also
create Micro Centers that will help
provide continual support for life
skills and training for new working
opportunities with jobs indigenous
to their region. The Micro Center
model is one that we hope will
become a staple for the Caring For
Others International Hubs as well
as other organizations in a joint
effort to eradicate poverty on every
level.
10
ERS Scholarship Care Fund
The ERS Scholarship Care Fund
is one of our most important
programs established for the sole
purpose of helping children that
are diligent in continuing their
education on the post secondary
level by giving them holistic
assistance whether it be financial,
food assistance or even words or
notes of encouragement. It is a
program birthed from the heart of
Eslene Richmond-Shockley and
also funded by her generosity.
The financial scholarships provide
assistance with purchasing books
and other necessary educational
materials. Each scholarship
recipient is required to be an active
volunteer in their local community
to understand what giving back
truly means.
Scholarship recipients also have
the opportunity to work closely
with the Founder and CEO of
Caring For Others learning vital
tools that are relevant to both
the corporate and non-profit
sectors. The invaluable hands-on
knowledge given through the
ERS Scholarship Care Fund is an
experience that will not only last
a lifetime, but also help make an
impact on the world through our
young minds.

Year in Review
Caring For Others entered
Winter
Spring
our teen years in 2014, and
We began the year with two
heartwarming distributions in the
City of Atlanta organized with the
help of our friend, Kwanza Hall of
the Atlanta City Council District
2. First, we took brand new coats
to the parents of the Operation
P.E.A.C.E. after-school program
children. Situated in the Old Fourth
Ward primarily serving youth from
the Village of Bedford Pine, this
organization provides needed outof-school time programming for
more than 150 children especially
during peak hours when children
are known to be involved in highrisk behavior.
Since opening our onsite
Community Center in 2012, Caring
For Others has looked to use the
space to offer much-needed
services to the community. In April,
in conjunction with the Urban
League of Greater Atlanta, we
began hosting financial awareness
seminars with the MoneySmart
Financial Workshop where
participants learned skills including
how to track money, what rights
the consumer has, and how to
recover financially and rebuild
credit.
just as it would be for a child,
year 13 included many leaps in
growth and an equal number
of
challenges.
We
were
able to greatly extend our
reach in Atlanta, nationally
and
internationally.
This
expansion was coupled with
the trials that accompany
growth. We can say with
gusto
that
we
met
and
continued to push through
new
barriers
the year.
12
throughout
In February, despite a delay
caused by the Atlanta ice storm,
we lovingly providing brand new
comforters and sheets to 150
seniors residents at Juniper & 10th
Senior Center. In the midst of an
opulent Midtown neighborhood,
this small community can easily be
overlooked. Caring For Others was
pleased to help this group sleep in
comfort.
Caring For Others | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Also in April, we hosted our annual
Spring Fling distribution of brand
new clothing, shoes, books, DVDs
and games for children. Atlantaarea families were invited to attend
the onsite distribution and obtain
needed seasonal items for their
children. Considering local families
and those reached through our
four Agency Partners, more than
5,300 individuals benefited from
this distribution including over 730
Atlantans.
Summer
Fall
November
Summer was a busy time for
Caring For Others! In June, we
launched the Caring For Others
Dallas Distribution Center. This
effort came as a partnership with
Hope For You and kicked off with
a distribution of free, brand new
items to communities in need
around the Dallas area. The first
of many distributions, the launch
provided 600 struggling families
with brand new clothing, shoes,
books, toys and household goods.
Fall was busy with the buzz of
our annual fundraiser, The Art of
Nature Gala. Thanks to a hardworking Gala Chair and Host
Committee, 2014 welcomed our
largest Gala in Caring For Others
history, selling out to more than
300 guests. During the Gala, we
presented two Humanitarian of
Hope Awards to Joseph S. Folz of
Porsche Cars North America and
Mark Winne of WSB-TV who were
honored for their commitment and
contributions to the community
and public service that exemplified
the qualities of compassion and
humanitarianism. Additionally, we
honored Former US Ambassador
Andrew J. Young with the Global
Humanitarian Award for his
international efforts.
Each holiday season, we host a
Thanksgiving food distribution to
local Atlanta families, and this year,
we were delighted to be able to
serve 1,860 individuals.
In late July, we again partnered
with City of Atlanta District 2 to
participate in the annual Year of
Boulevard Back to School Block
Party. This event, which serves
the poorest neighborhood in
the State of Georgia, welcomed
approximately 1,000 attendees.
Caring For Others distributed
brand new clothing for children to
help them start a new school year
with dignity.
Throughout the year, our onsite
store CareMart continued to
attract shoppers as we offered a
variety of inventory. From children’s
clothes and shoes to luxury adult
brands, household goods and
toys, CareMart has served the
community through affordable
pricing while supporting the work
of Caring For Others financially.
Thanksgiving was followed by
our annual Black Friday Sale at
CareMart, and with the support
of our incredible volunteers, word
about this special day of shopping
spread to many new audiences
drawing hundreds of shoppers
throughout the day. Thanks to an
enthusiastically, engaged volunteer
team and a comprehensive
marketing campaign we raised
over $70K.

December
In December, our 13th Annual
Community Holiday Giving served
more than 3,100 families during
an onsite distribution as well as
through agency partners. At our
Caring For Others distribution, the
pre-registered families received
bags filled with toys, shoes,
books, pajamas and clothing for
their children. Concurrently, we
distributed food, clothing and
household effects to area senior
citizens.
This is a fun event each year that
relies on a large staff of volunteers
to help us put smiles on the faces
of so many parents who gain a
sense of relief in knowing that they
will have gifts to provide for their
children on Christmas morning.
For the first time, in addition to our
onsite and partner distributions,
we celebrated the season with
City Councilmember Kwanza
Hall and 40 young people from
Mental Fitness, one of two new
after-school programs on the
Boulevard corridor. These children
received toys, clothing and bikes
for the holidays during this special
distribution.
Caring For Others serves families
throughout the United States, and
with our goal of eradicating poverty
around the world; we also strive
to impact those in need overseas.
Our international efforts this year
took our President & CEO Eslene
Richmond-Shockley to Antigua
in April where families received
household items, clothing, shoes
and electronics such as notepads
during a distribution she oversaw
personally. Two months later,
Mrs. Shockley visited her home
country Guyana where Caring For
Others representatives were met
by families and children who had
been waiting for their arrival. The
Guyana distribution served 500
families throughout the country.
In 2014, Caring For Others also
facilitated a distribution of 3,000
pairs of shoes to children in Nigeria.
For the past three years, the
growth of overseas missions has
become an important focus for the
organization and Caring For Others
looks to expand these efforts going
forward.
As we enter our 14th year of giving voice to the faces of
poverty, we cannot help but be excited by the possibilities as
we continue in our mission to eradicate poverty at home and
around the globe!
14
Caring For Others | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
From the President
We started our year focused on
renewing hope and restoring
strength. Over 85,864 individuals
and 20,786 households were
helped nationally through our
distributions, events, programs,
agency partnerships and your
support. Our international and
overseas efforts grew exponentially
with 10,251 individuals and 2,316
households positively affected by
our direct assistance.
Eslene Richmond-Shockley
Founder President & CEO
Caring for Others, Inc.
To whom much is given, much is
required. And if 2014 is indicative
of what lies ahead at Caring
For Others (CFO), 2015 will be a
glorious year indeed! Every step
of the way CFO was guided by
a sense of purpose -- to restore
dignity and renew hope to families
around the world.
Throughout this Annual Report,
we will share our journey and
highlight the meaningful impact
of our community programs
and outreach. But first, I want to
extend a heart of gratitude to the
many corporate donors, sponsors
and individual supporters who
dedicated time and resources to
help us push through. Without
you, the success stories outlined in
the pages to follow would not be
possible.
This year we will take that same
idea and go even further. Our
primary focus this year will be,
“Giving A Voice To The Faces Of
Poverty.” Caring For Others will
reach out and be the changing
agent to a family that has suffered
a catastrophic loss. We will be the
bridge that closes the gap between
financial stability and the working
poor barely able to afford basic
necessities. We will be the hand
that reaches back to bring those
who have fallen behind or been
forgotten forward.
Looking ahead, our goal is to
accelerate these efforts by “Giving a
voice to the faces of poverty.” As the
scope of our ambitions grow, this
includes expanding the continuum
of both on-site services and global
outreach assistance. Yes, eradicating
poverty is a lofty goal. But if CFO
can challenge how so many people
think about the poor, we can
proceed to shake up the status quo,
and most importantly, become a
vanguard of reformers with true
and lasting impact. Only then will
we have truly done our duty.
Poverty does not exist in a vacuum.
It thrives in an environment
where opportunities for gainful
employment are limited, education
is lacking and hope is nonexistent.
We are charged to shift this tide by
giving a voice to the faces of poverty
– one person, one family and one
community at a time.
I am often asked to share the
Caring For Others story, perhaps
in a book. Certainly this will not
happen any time soon because
there are so many chapters left to
unfold! With your help, the finished
work is sure to be a story for the
ages. As the year progresses, I will
keep you apprised on how we are
bridging the gap for the working
poor and doing our part to break
the cycle of poverty through tools
and resources such as education,
job skills and financial wellness
and basic necessities. With your
continued support, we will do more!
“Our purpose—to restore
dignity and renew hope to
families around the world.”

“We have promises to keep and miles to go
before we sleep.”
Robert Frost
From the Chairman
Joseph Northington
Chairman of the Board
Caring for Others, Inc.
It is hard to believe that we are
in the beginning of 2015, and
it is time to look back over the
accomplishments Caring For
Others achieved in 2014. Was
it a successful year? How does
one measure success? This is a
discussion my spouse and I have
frequently. Our society measures
individual success on what, I
believe, ultimately are insignificant
things – money, physical
possessions, title, influence, etc. To
me, success is measured by the
quality of the people in your life
and the intimacy that close and
productive ties bring.
In this regard, boy what a
successful year we had! Whether
one looks at the many volunteers,
Mrs. Shockley, our Board of
Directors, our supporters
and partner agencies, or the
corporations donating goods and
services and finally, the lives of
those we touched, 2014 was our
best and most successful year
ever. We had the opportunity and
took action to assist a number of
individuals and families towards
a better life while restoring their
dignity and hope. We did this not
only in the 23 metro Atlanta zip
codes, but also in other countries
such as Belize, Antigua, Nigeria,
The Philippines, and Guyana. Our
programs such as No Bare Soles
and Holiday Giving touch many
lives in fundamental ways.
Any success is accomplished only
through facing and addressing
challenges. This was certainly the
case for Caring For Others this past
year, as well. It is true that into
every life a little rain must fall, but
most of us think of this figuratively.
16
Caring For Others | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
For CFO, it was also a literal issue
due to our aging roof and the
heavy rains in 2014. We faced this
challenge, refinanced our building,
and through the donations of
supporters repaired the roof and
continued our operations. We also
faced a series of break-ins to our
facility, which brought with them
additional costs and the need to
re-examine our systems.
Yet, our work is not complete.
When I am in Atlanta these days,
I am shocked by the increase of
the number of people on the side
of the road with signs asking for
money and support. This used
to be a rare occurrence and only
in certain areas of the city. Now,
one sees it everywhere. What has
changed though, is I now notice
more people rolling down the
windows of their cars and handing
out change, a dollar, or whatever
they can afford. Perhaps, CFO
has an even clearer picture of the
needs in Atlanta, as we see year
over year, the numbers of people
reaching out for our services
continuing to increase. When
one thinks we are the country
known as the ‘land of opportunity,’
imagine how dire is the need in
other countries that have grown
accustomed to look at the US for
support and assistance.
So in closing, I want to paraphrase
a poem by Robert Frost. CFO had
a successful 2014, but ‘we have
promises to keep and miles to go
before we sleep’. We count on all
of you for your continued support
as we work to make the world a
better place.
